While there are'several hose supports of,

different designs, it is found that inmost cases the hose or nozzle is clamped thereto,

10 which is an undesirable feature as it is important that the hose be quickly removed or adjusted to another position without the necessity of having to shut off the water, as is the case when the hose or nozzle is clamped to the support requiring time to remove or adjust.

The object of the invention is to provide an article of this class that shall be simple,

durable and eflicient, contain few parts and be readily adaptable to the work required.

Another object of the invention is to provide a garden hose supporter that shall contain no loose parts and that shall be capable of holding the hose in several desired directions and without the use of clamps.

A further object of the invention is to provide an article so constructed as to be readily inserted into and withdrawn from the ground. I

- With these and other objects in View, the

invention consists in certain novel construction and combination of parts as will hereinafter be fully described and claimed andill'ustrated in the accompanying drawing V which forms a part hereof and in which like figures of reference refer to corresponding parts in all of the views,and it is understood that slight changes may be made without 'de-.

parting from the spirit of the invention.

Above the rivet 16 the arms are bent out-5, ward as at 19 and their ends are curved around as at 20 toform a handle grip for the device by which it may be inserted and removed from the ground.

The arms 19 being of resilient material may 17,

be slightly'bent outward by pressure on the handle portion to allow of the insertion'of the hose 21 between the arm 19 and the rod 10 whereby it is gripped and will thus sup any angle. I 1

It is understood that the rodlO while here shown as round in cross section, may be of any desired shape, size and material, and that the arms 15 may also be of any suitable r material and of any desired shape, and in place of the curves 20 the upper part of thearms 19 may be of any desired shape so long as they are capable of holding the hose 21 between them and the rod 10.

The part 18 is bent to form a rest for the foot of the operator to force the article into the ground by foot pressure.

The arms 19 are reinforced by the addi-' tion of a piece 22 secured in contact with. their outer sides. v v V Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new and desire to secure by Letter Patent, is- 95 1.
